Committee hears tweak to solar-panel recycling bill that removes some registry requirements
Summary
Speaker Kelly presented House Bill 320 to address end-of-life recycling for solar panels and said the committee removed certain registry requirements from last year s version; the bill was presented for support but not voted on in the transcript.
House Bill 320 (LC 443357s) was presented to the committee by Kelly as legislation aimed at managing solar-panel recycling at the end of the panels' useful life. Kelly said the bill had been presented in the prior session and that committee members recently "made a slight tweak" to remove some registry requirements that had previously been placed on the department.
Kelly described the change as a narrowing of administrative obligations on the department, though the transcript does not include the full bill text, technical definitions for "end of life," nor any projected costs or implementation timeline.
No formal vote or referral for HB 320 is recorded in the transcript excerpt; Kelly asked the committee for support during the presentation and the chair acknowledged the request but did not record a formal outcome for the bill in the available text.
What happens next: The committee proceeded with procedural business and set a calendar for several bills later in the meeting; the transcript does not capture a committee vote or staff report on HB 320 within the provided segments.
